When I first saw Perlla Deluca speak at the Women Construction Owners and Executives National Conference last March I knew that she was not only a force in the construction industry but a deeply caring person. Perlla makes many great points during our discussion of how to attract more women into construction trades, including the fact that they must like it. She also provides concrete tips for how men can support women in our industry.

I had so much fun appearing on Karalynn Cromeens' podcast to talk about my book about women leaders in construction that I invited Karalynn onto my podcast to discuss her three books on construction law! Karlynn is an amazing leader in our industry and has a wealth of practical knowledge about construction contracts. Are contracts fun? No! But contracts drive behavior in our industry and I wanted to share Karalynn's wisdom with the world, including tips on how our industry can become more transparent and collaborative.

Work Futurist and leadership authority Cherie Mylordis spent five years delivering the 2000 Sydney Olympics, a daunting yet fulfilling adventure that shape her as a leader. Cherie shares her thoughts on how leaders create psychological safety and empower high performing teams. I appreciate her three "D's" - Dare, Ditch, or Dial, the concept of "consious unbossing", and advice on how leaders inspire their teams with bold visions.
